TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of autonomous driving, and more particularly, to a target detection method based on fusion of prior positioning of a millimeter-wave radar and a visual feature.

BACKGROUND

Target detection in a road scenario is a key technical procedure to perceive autonomous driving of a vehicle, so as to enable a driving perception system of the vehicle to determine a surrounding environment, avoid collision with another vehicle, a pedestrian and other targets, foresee implementation of an auxiliary decision-making system, and realize safe autonomous driving of the vehicle on a lane.

An autonomous-driving perception system can recognize a surrounding target in a current scenario by extracting a feature of a visual image obtained by a camera, which is similar to human perception by using a visual system. A target in a good visual environment can be easily recognized by people and vehicles. However, in a scenario with a bad visual environment such as strong light, fog, or night, it is limited to obtain information through human vision, and it is also difficult for the perception system of the vehicle to make correct recognition and judgment by only relying on visual information. In order to realize autonomous driving, accurate detection of a target on a road in all-weather scenarios needs to be realized. Therefore, many methods begin to use other information (for example, information obtained by a lidar, a millimeter-wave radar, and a thermal imager) to enhance a recognition capability of the perception system.

The millimeter-wave radar calculates a radial velocity of an object relative to the vehicle by using a Doppler effect. A point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar is not affected by a visible light environment, can distinguish targets of different materials and contains spatial information. Therefore, distance and velocity information fed back by the millimeter-wave radar is used to assist in determining an obstacle, so as to improve an obstacle avoidance capability of an autonomous vehicle, which has been widely used. However, the point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar is very sparse, and noise in the point cloud has a great impact on obstacle determining.

In a complex scenario, in order to a resolve a problem of low accuracy of detecting the target on the road by only using a vehicle-mounted camera or the millimeter-wave radar, a novel idea is proposed to fuse a plurality of types of information of sensors to improve a perception capability of a road environment around the vehicle. However, most of these methods directly perform feature fusion on information (intensity of a radar cross section (RCS), a radial velocity, a distance, and the like) fed back by the millimeter-wave radar and visual information of the vehicle-mounted camera without distinguishing them, and do not make full use of a complementary function of the two types of sensor data. After observation and experimental analysis, the intensity of the RCS has a certain correlation with a target material, and thus belongs a category-related attribute, while the distance and the velocity are category-independent attributes but space-related attributes. Therefore, different information needs to be fused in different manners to enable information of a plurality of sensors more comprehensively to achieve more robust detection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objectives, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides a target detection method based on the fusion of prior positioning of a millimeter-wave radar and a visual feature. The method includes the following steps:

Step 1): Simultaneously obtain, based on the millimeter-wave radar and a vehicle-mounted camera after being calibrated, point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar and a camera image, and perform spatial 3D coordinate transformation on the point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar to project transformed cloud data onto a camera plane.

Step 2): Generate a plurality of anchor samples based on projected point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar according to a preset anchor strategy, and obtain a final anchor sample based on a velocity-distance weight of each candidate region. This step specifically includes the following substeps:

Step 2-1): Generate the plurality of anchor samples based on the point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar and according to the preset anchor strategy.

As shown in FIG. 2, a conventional anchor generation strategy maps each point back to an original image based on a feature map to form anchor generation points evenly distributed in the image, and uses these points as a reference to generate an anchor with a preset size and ratio. However, the anchor strategy in the present invention uses the projected point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar as a position prior, namely, an anchor generation point. One anchor generation point generates M groups of basic anchors, each group of basic anchors includes M anchor samples with preset sizes and aspect ratios, and one anchor generation point generates M×N anchor samples. In FIG. 2, M=5, and N=9.

Step 2-2): Respectively extract velocity information and distance information in the point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar of each anchor sample, and calculate the velocity-distance weight W of each candidate region according to the following formula:

${W = {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n}{{- {\ln\left( \frac{Distance}{\alpha} \right)}} \cdot e^{{- \frac{{Velocity}\;}{\beta}} - \frac{\beta}{2}}}}},$

In the above formula, α and β are weight coefficients, α represents a maximum value of a maximum effective ranging scope of the millimeter-wave radar, and β is determined based on a velocity of a vehicle on a road, such that

${{- \frac{Velocity}{\beta}} - \frac{\beta}{2}} \in \left( {0,1} \right)$ and a finial weight meets Wϵ(0,1); n represents a quantity of point clouds contained in one anchor sample; Velocity represents the velocity information in the point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar; and Distance represents the distance information in the point cloud data of the millimeter-wave radar.

A target close to a current vehicle and at a high speed can be considered as a target with a high risk coefficient. Fusing the two types of information to evaluate the candidate region can help to focus on learning the target with a high risk coefficient and improve safety of a perception system.

Step 2-3): Perform scaling and derivation on the anchor samples comprehensively by using the velocity-distance weight to obtain the final anchor sample.

A coefficient of the velocity-distance weight is calculated based on point cloud information at a corresponding position of the generated anchor sample. A target with a longer distance is more inclined to be smaller in a visual image, and more anchors need to be generated for a target with a higher speed to ensure that the target with a higher speed can be correctly detected. Therefore, scaling and derivation are performed on the anchor samples.

Step 3): Obtain a feature of the final anchor sample. This step specifically includes the following substeps:

Step 3-1): Extract intensity information of an RCS of a point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar, and fuse the intensity information of the RCS in the point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar and RGB information of the camera image. This step specifically includes the following steps:

3-1-1): Represent the RGB information of the camera image as (R, G, B), and perform data standardization by using a Min-Max standardization method to obtain standardized image information (R′, G′, B′).

3-1-2): Represent intensity of the RCS in the point cloud as RCS.

3-1-3): Use the RCS as information of a fourth channel, and fuse the information of the fourth channel and three-channel RGB information of the image to obtain four-channel information (R′, G′, B′, RCS).

Step 3-2): Use RestNet50 as a feature extraction network, input the four-channel information into RestNet50, and output a feature of four-channel information of the original image.

The network training mainly includes the following steps:

1) Dataset generation: Generate a dataset based on labeled point cloud data and a labeled image file.

2) Hyper-parameter setting: Set an initial value of a learning rate lr to 0.001. A batch value b used for each parameter update is 64, and a quantity of iterative trainings, namely, epoch, is 300.

3) Loss function setting: Use a conventional cross entropy loss function.

4) Learning rate update: Decrease the learning rate by using a cosine annealing strategy.

Step 3-3): Perform region mapping on the final anchor sample and the feature of the four-channel information of the original image to obtain the feature of the final anchor sample.

Step 4): Input the feature of the final anchor sample into the detection network to generate category and position information of a target in a scenario.

The detection network is a Faster-recurrent convolutional neural network (Faster-RCNN), and includes a positioning subnetwork and a regression subnetwork, where the positioning subnetwork positions the target, and the regression subnetwork classifies the target. The detection network also needs to be learned and trained in advance.

Embodiment 3

Embodiment 3 of the present invention provides a non-volatile storage medium for storing a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the above method in Embodiment 1 can be implemented.

The present invention has the following innovation points:

1. Similar to a conventional two-stage target detection network, a feature network is used to extract the semantic feature. A conventional region proposal network (RPN) generates a preset anchor based on each point of the feature map to form the final anchor sample. To accelerate this process, the present invention uses the RPN to generate the feature of the final anchor sample based on the point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar.

2. The anchor sample in the present invention needs to be determined based on the velocity-distance weight, which is different from that in the conventional RPN. More anchor samples are generated for a target with a high speed and a short distance and a target with a long distance, to improve detection of a high-speed target and a small target, and improve overall detection accuracy.

3. The three features of the conventional ResNet50 network are fused with the intensity information of the RCS, and a fused feature is used for learning.

4. For different radar information, corresponding radar point cloud images are generated. Attributes of the point cloud are the intensity of the RCS, the radial velocity (Velocity) and the distance (Distance). The intensity of the RCS of the millimeter-wave radar varies with different types of targets. The present invention optimizes region of interest (ROI) extraction of the detection algorithm by fusing the velocity and distance information of the millimeter-wave radar, generates the anchor sample based on prior information of the point cloud of the millimeter-wave radar, selects and optimizes the anchor sample based on fused information of the velocity and distance of the radar point cloud, and improves quality of an initial extraction region, so as to improve a convergence speed and final detection accuracy of the network.

5. The RPN of the two-stage detection network based on the Faster RCNN is used to extract an image feature, and improves the feature by fusing the intensity of the RCS, so as to learn the semantic feature in the case of poor visual visibility.

Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the same.
